I have been using PE11 for a few years. I have a 50 minute project that consistently fails at 99% of the DVD burn with "unknown error 2130903552" I have 573GB of free hard drive space. The PC system is an HP PavillionElite.

I have one menu and one menu marker at the beginning of the timeline with four scene markers. I have tried burning with and without the STOP marker at the end.

I have successfully burned a 15 minute project after the 50 minute project failed so I do not suspect hardware or system issues. Does anyone know what error 2130903552 is?

I have. Successfully burned the DVD by removing the menu, menu marker, scene markers and the end marker. The file was 3.1 GB burning at 8.00mbps. I was burning wide screen NTSC. I tried cleaning the hard drive first but the project still failed at 99% of the burn with "unknown error 2130906112"

I have added the menu and only two scene markers to see if that will burn successfully. You questions helped trouble shoot by investigating the menu and scene markers.

From what you wrote, I think that the major issue might have been a stop marker at the end of the last item on the Timeline. That stop marker is not needed and causes burn to failures.

Also, look out for spacing of the Timeline markers (at least 5 frames between), and look for too close buttons in the movie menu customization area of the program (if problem, you should see red frames around the too close buttons).

The final update is that when I added back the menu, menu marker, two scene markers and the stop marker, the project burned successfully.

Perhaps something in my original menu was corrupt. I do notice that the projects are usually quite sensitive when adding and editing the menu. If you make too many changes at this time PE11 often crashes. While the stop marker has been blamed for many generations of PE, just removing the stop marker did not help in this case.

I appreciate the trouble shooting tips and I am sure others will as well.
